Carlton a flag chance in 2026.

But we have been to the finals with the core of the list the previous two years. So they've shown they can do it.

I don't think Saad, McGovern, Haynes, and Williams are needle movers now but the likes of Weitering, Curnow, McKay, Walsh, and Cerra all of a heap of good footy left. We don't need to worry about replacing their output for a while.
You've had 2 x 13 win seasons, and we're miles off the pace of the genuine contenders in both years.

Not a chance! Their small forwards are the worst in the league, the midfield one paced, the rucks without TDK are poor and after Weitering the backline is a worry. Add in an average coaching box and they won't be getting close
Why do you have to spoil the fun with reality?
 
Miles off the pace... 5 goals up in a prelim vs Brisbane at the Gabba and flogged Collingwood with half our team shortly before it.

Keep trying to rewrite history though.
See that's exactly the narrative that sucked everyone in to thinking Carlton were far better than they actually were.

So feel free to keep going with it if it means you honestly believe your team is just 'a few tweaks' away from success...
 
Oh.

So you're happy for your best case scenario to be that Carlton contend for a finals position for the next couple of years, without being anywhere near premiership contention?

All good then.
I was replying to a post that said "if they can't drag you to finals by now". We have clearly made finals with those players. No where did I say anything close to me being content with just contending for finals.

Give us a couple of small forwards who aren't shite and Walsh a season without his back being cooked and anything's possible Fadgey.

Given your long history of drastically underrating Carlton players I wouldn't expect you to have a clue though. Kennedy a VFL player, Silvagni a spud, Elijah Hollands a D grader... The list could go on for a long long time...

Blues chances next year entirely depend on the development of these players/ability to bring in players to fill the bolded spots on the field. Players like Cowan, Moir, Carroll, Lord etc have started showing a lot of promise this year after being given more responsibility late in the year but are still a way off premiership calibre at the minute. Getting our top group healthy and back to their best should get us back into finals contention but after that it's on the bottom 6-7 to lift the team to the next level. Not sure I have a lot of faith in them getting to the level we'd need them to in 2026.

TDK probably gone but will be replaced by Pittonet which isn't too bad.
JSOS 50/50 stay or go from reports thus far.

Lachie Cowan - Jacob Weitering - Nick Haynes
Nic Newman - Jack Silvagni - Adam Saad

Ollie Hollands - Patrick Cripps - Sam Walsh
Tom De Koning - Jagga Smith - George Hewett

Elijah Hollands - Harry McKay - Zac Williams
Ashton Moir - Charlie Curnow - Someone Shite

Adam Cerra - Matthew Carroll - Matthew Cottrell - Cooper Lord

Oh boy.

Here we go again.

Show me where I picked Carlton for 17th in 2025?
Been there and done that already. Many many times.

Yes, we have, haven't we?
Yep.

Kennedy still a VFL plodder?
Silvagni still a spud?
Elijah Hollands still a D grader?
Ned Long still better than Walsh?
Moore still better than Weitering?
Perryman better than Hewett?

All statements you've made many times this year. So excuse me for dismissing any other opinions you may hold on the Blues list.
 
Yep.

Kennedy still a VFL plodder?
Silvagni still a spud?
Elijah Hollands still a D grader?
Ned Long still better than Walsh?
Moore still better than Weitering?
Perryman better than Hewett?

All statements you've made many times this year
And making more shit up.

Actually quoting things that I never said, and ignoring the many accurate comments that have been made (Sidebottom > Acres, for example).

What a desperate, desperate lying individual.

But regardless...

E. Hollands really has been great this year, hasn't he?

And who's had a better season - Walsh or Long.

You are embarrassing yourself. But that's not unusual.
